Alex saw a big red wolf break past the trees, heading straight for them.
At a glance, he could tell this was the Boss Monster he had been monitoring on his map. Right now, its merciless gaze was fixed on Bob, Grint, and Jorven.
Alex knew that the three teenagers couldn't survive the wolf, one of the four monsters assigned to thin down the number of candidates by eliminating anyone unlucky enough to cross their paths. He quickly devised a plan to save them from a grim fate.
"Enchant Holy!" Alex said as he summoned a wooden sandal.
What appeared in his hand was none other than his legendary weapon, Grandma Agnes' Sandal!
Without even a second thought, the young man launched the sandal like a railgun, sending it flying at the speed of sound.
For a brief moment, Bob and his companions thought Alex was attacking them. However, when they heard a pained roar behind them, they understood the situation was way worse. Their most dreaded fear had come to life.
